Brazil 2014. The World Cup thread

Give Cesar a second yellow for time wasting. Make it really fun!

Load of shite.

Fernandinho should have had at least 17 yellows.
César should have had a straight red.
Blah blah blah.
Lovely free kick.

Flipping heck .. Fred is “playing “

93 mins gone until l spotted him

Well, they’re up against this year’s champions next anyway, hopefully without Neymar*, so they’ll get a well organised Teutonic spanking.

*i hate myself for saying that! as he was probably the cleanest player on the pitch this evening.

Arse.

If Germany can deal with the Brazilian propensity to cheat and piss and moan, they should beat them.

Great free kick though…

So let me get this right…

We want German to beat Brazil.

There’s a thing!

hhhmmmm … so many missed chances for Colombiana. 😐

Yes, Germany to beat Brazil then to meet Holland in the final where Holland will beat them to win the tournament for the first time.

Ok. So now the game has finished. What was that on James arm?

you got to love this place you can post an image with the “full” f-word but type f**king your post gets deleted ! 😕

I think the mods just really like cocaine, so figured it was ok.

I have no problem with that. Germany are my second team. Brazil being managed by one of the biggest **** in international football helps one to want to see them lose. Plus, I was hoping for some civilian unrest during the World Cup and as long as Brazil are in the tournament, the proletariat is too happy to riot.

Half German, so once England shuffle out as usual, I always root for ze Germans.

A real live grasshopper apparently.

On holidays from Zurich to catch the football.

Is there anyone who doesn’t like Sideshow Bob? Always a class act.

Neymar oot the WC.

Brazil are boned.

I still have money on Holland and Costa Rica, the odds mean it’s either Chinese carbon or Zipps.

Personally I don’t think Neymar had been particularly good in this WC. Neither do I think he lives up to the hype at club level. Brazil can re-organise themselves no problem. It’s whether their players believe they still have a chance that counts more IMO.

Games like that make you wonder about spot betting and money exchanging hands. No yellow cards in the first half? FFS

Brasil are gubbed, Neymar or not. He’s nowhere near the same class as Messi, Ronaldo, or even Zlatan or Rodriguez anyway. Big Phil’s comments about the Colombians ‘hunting’ Neymar were embarrassing, should look at his own sides’ tackling.

As for Fred, be better with Dibnah!

Neymar out with a fractured vertebrae

Apparently FIFA had put pressure on the refs to not flash cards about. Reason being to let the game flow, and reduce the chance of big names being suspended.

They obviously forgot this would also have the affect, in certain games, of the game getting out of control of the ref if the players saw no punishment coming for their actions.

Neymar out with a fractured vertebrae

Ya, not a surprise as the injury is a bit like being kneed in the back by some kick boxer, especially when the other player was charging up to him at that speed …

Ya, let’s hope Brazil and Argentina are oot … I like Costa Rica but then I want Holland to win … arrgghhh … 😮

Knockout stages have been shit.

Dammit! Argentina is through … 😐

Well not too much of a surprise there.

It was nice being able to watch the match with the commentary on though – I’ve been having to cope with radio coverage that’s a minute out of sync for the Townsend games. Clarke Carlisle gets my vote, though I started wanting to set fire to his co-commentator around the time of his “Zabaletta likes Status Quo…” filler.

Knockout stages have been shit.

agreed. is sad 🙁

This looks promising so far. CRC keeper is doing well.

Costa Ricacacacaca! !

Thought the last 16 games were good, well the ones I saw. But the quarters have been very poor

Gone off the boil a tad.

The heat finally taken it’s toll?

CRC should have had a pen.

Campbell off for a guy who hasn’t scored in 3 seasons, or started in 2?

Looks like shadowy far eastern betting syndicates are at work again 😛

The quarters have been normal. One fack up and you are going home.

Robben is such a drama queen.

looking for fouls is such a blight on modern international football. it totally spoils the flow of the game for me. it’s not like this in the premiership is it? it’s just so negative.

Oh my.

Shady syndicate or not, how did that stay out?

Bonus 30 mins 🙂

Oh FFS. Extra time again. I’ve only got one beer left.
